Hi Ronan Dowling. After a bit of searching, I decided this was going to take up too much of my time. I did come to the conclusion that you can only sync the hardcoded fields that already exist in the contact list and outlook. That said, I personally had a few issues with sync only going one direction for some fields. In the end it was put in the too hard basket. I currently use outlook categories for contacts and this syncs to SharePoint fine, although the sync is unreliable from SharePoint to Outlook. I am currently looking at Dynamics 365 Business Central to better manage things.
